BMC and BDA have initiated a pilot project in Bhubaneswar to install solar-powered smart benches. Initially set up at Master Canteen and Sahid Nagar, these benches feature solar panels on their roofs, providing shade from sun and rain. They offer mobile charging points and LED lighting at night using stored solar energy. Part of the Green City Mission, this eco-friendly initiative aims to expand to more crowded areas and religious sites in the future. https://sambad.in/metro/smart-benches-for-pedestrians-11856768 #creator program
